Jeopardy Review Game Rules
The first group to “buzz in” initially gets to select the first question.
Groups must conference and may write down the answer before they can “buzz in”.
Select one student who will “buzz in”
I will chose ANY student from the group that I want. The group should conference before they decide to answer the question. It is important that EVERYONE in the group know the answer.
No one else can help the selected student answer the question. If anyone else in the group gives the answer, the group automatically looses the points and another group can buzz in to answer.
If the student gets the question right, the group gets the points and they get to select the next question.
If the student gets the question wrong, the points are subtracted and the next group to buzz in has the opportunity to answer. Again, the TEACHER will select the student who answers the question. If no one gets it right, the last group to have a correct answer will choose the next category.
